The Origins of evolutionary psychology with Martin Daly

Along with Margo Wilson, Martin Daly (McMaster) is one the founding pioneers of evolutionary psychology. In this episode, we get Martin's take on the history and the field. Topics include studying real-world phenomena (like homicide), inequality, and how evolutionary biologists like Williams and Hamilton supported the upstart approach (and whether it's really a different approach at all), and what happens when you give a lab-reared rat the kind of plant that it evolved to eat out in the wild, but has never seen before.  More about Martin Daly: https://www.martindaly.ca/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Daly_(professor) https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=1BUIq-UAAAAJ
